Club Career
New England Revolution
Buksa signed for the New England Revolution on December 12, 2019. His reported transfer fee of $4.5 million made him the second-most expensive signing in the franchises' history behind Gustavo Bou. He became the third Polish-born player to represent the Revolution, joining Rob Jachym (1997-98) and Janusz Michallik (1998).[2][3] Buksa made his first appearance for the team in the season opener, a 2-1 loss to Theirry Henry's Montreal Impact on February 29, 2020.[4] He scored his first goal for the Revolution in the 28th minute the franchises' home opener against the Chicago Fire on March 7, 2020, assisted by Brandon Bye. It was the first goal scored by a first-year Revolution player in a home opener since Saër Sène in 2012 against the Portland Timbers.[5]
